Pressure Accumulator Overview

NOTE:

The central hydraulic system is filled with fluid, Part No. G 002 000.

CAUTION:

DO NOT re-use any fasteners that are worn or deformed in normal use. Many fasteners are designed to be used only once and become unreliable and may fail when used a second time. This includes, but is not limited to, nuts, bolts, washers, self-locking nuts or bolts, circlips, and cotter pins. Always follow the recommendations given in this publication. For replacements always use new parts.

NOTE:

When the pressure accumulator is replaced, fill the system with new hydraulic fluid. The system bleeds itself during driving operation. Check fluid level in reservoir, top off if necessary.
